...opposite position. Houston, who has been laid up the greater part of the season, is getting into shape again, and should show up well from now on. R. Brown, Cutting and Harding are all good men. The backfield is not so certain. Cutler will probably remain at quarterback, and Corbett and White should have no trouble in holding their positions. Leslie and Long, their respective substitutes, are both fast halfbacks and valuable men. The third back is the most difficult to pick. Smith, who played regularly until the injury to his side, will soon be in shape again. Forchheimer...
...pass to Rogers and a tackle play by Page. Later the second team was given the ball on the 5-yard line and again scored. The first part of the practice was given over to work in place-kicking after a fair catch, and kicking from formation with the quarterback holding the ball. Withington's playing was the feature of the practice...
Cate kicked to Corbett, who ran the ball back ten yards from the 10-yard line, where he fumbled and the ball went to the second team. Cate's forward pass went to White on the 25-yard line.

...yard line the length of the field for the second touchdown was the feature of the game. He was given good interference, but it was by dint of its own fast work that he was able to go through the whole Bates team and to outstrip Cobb, the quarterback. White at left halfback put up a hard, fast game and just after the second touchdown got clear on a tackle play and made a run of thirty-six yards before he was downed. The work of the quarterbacks of both teams was of a high order, and many long gains...
